A method for measuring dielectric constant of body endermic tissues and
body impedance based on the method of frequency digital sampling and for
evaluating body composition is provided, inputting the method through the
I/O interface of a microprocessor the measured body weight frequency
signals, oscillating frequency signals related to dielectric constant of
body endermic tissues and body impedance signals corresponding to
non-fixed different frequencies, and calculating through the software of
the microprocessor the body fat content, total body water, ratio between
intracellular water and total body water. The body weight, body fat
content, total body water and ratio between intracellular water and total
body water are displayed on the display. A body composition monitor based
on the above method, which includes a weighing sensor, a weighing signal
processing circuit, and a display unit.
